TGIF - camp wilder featured shirtless jared leto
written by geoffrey on 11/23/07 3 comments


this one is for the ladies and the douchebag idiots. here’s jared leto, the actor who fronted the terrible band 30 seconds to mars, appearing shirtless on camp wilder. the show only lasted one season, but jared’s “so called life” kept on going. lucky us!

overtime gift guide: obscure 90’s sci-fi shows
written by geoffrey on 11/22/07 leave a comment


welcome to our weekly gift guide, where we recommend presents for you and yourself this holiday season. this week, we’ll go where no shopping guide has gone before: odd science fiction dvds from the 90’s…

sliders: seasons one and two ($25) - jerry o’connell and friends ’slide’ into alternate universes, like the one where nerds are treated like star athletes and the one where women are the dominate sex. they can’t get home, which works out well for us, cause the first two seasons are awesome.

seaquest dsv: season one ($60!) forget space - there’s plenty to explore under the sea, apparently! remember the talking dolphin? his name was darwin. remember that it was executive produced by steven spielberg? i didn’t, but holy shit. the box set costs sixty bucks.

millennium: season one ($20) - ha ha ha. millenium. seriously, though, this show was great.

stove top stuffing vs. potatoes?
written by daroff on 11/21/07 leave a comment


check out danny masterson from that 70s show

remember those stove top stuffing commercials that made it sound like stove top was the ultimate alternative to boring potatoes? maybe i’m wrong, but stove top stuffing is the alternative to other brands of stuffing. personally, i prefer pepperidge farms. fuck stove top. these commercials, though — they could have gone beyond potatoes.

“your mom’s serving stove top?! mine’s serving soy based curd side and beetle droppings.”

lazer tag academy is needlessly complicated
written by geoffrey on 11/20/07 3 comments


whenever i find myself scratching my head during the intro to a saturday morning cartoon, like i did with hammerman, i know it’s not a good sign. can’t this show just take place in the future? or if jamie does have to travel to the 1980’s, couldn’t she take on the villain without the help of her seemingly useless 80’s relatives? and the villain is actually related to jamie? fuck this. i’m watching thundercats.

also worth noting: this was made when laser tag wasn’t a place you’d go to on occassion, but rather, a toy you begged your parents for. my friend had lazer tag, and apparently it never worked, in the present or the future.

my double dare plan of action
written by jenni on 11/19/07 leave a comment


as a kid, i spent hours plotting my plan for what i would do if i ever got on double dare and made it to the obstacle course. that plan consisted solely of me planning to go head first down the twisty slide and into the ice cream sundae at the bottom. not because it would shave seconds off my time, but because i wanted to eat the ice cream. screw the toys ‘r us gift certificates, i just really, really like ice cream.
